Subject: t-and-f: Regina and
Marathoners
I dunno, 2:19? From what I've seen/heard it
seems like Jacobs runs 14:45 on a more speed/anaerobic focused training
regimen, no? Don't hear much about her running 20 mile long runs and
stuff. She doesn't need to, I suppose.
If I had to pick a US woman who realistically
looks to have marathon written all over her, I'd say that there are 2 who
standout:
Drossin
Rhines.
Regina has no reason to run a marathon.
Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of people run them, and the major
ones are filling up with fanatics each year, the marathon really is not a
whole lot of fun. In fact, I'd venture to say that the marathon
sucks.
Drossin, however, seems to come from a higher
mileage (and altitude) based aerobic focused program. And her build is
more marathon fit.
Rhines is so efficient, has that marathon shuffle
thing, little bounce or knee lift, and still has surprising spunk at the end
of a 10000m, just ask Hickman and Lauck.
However, if it came down to it, my money would
still be on McVeigh to beat their collective asses over a marathon.
